Required: Two coaxial cables, right and left audio
cables, S-Video or composite video cable, plus cables
required to connect the TV to the cable box.
1. Connect the incoming coaxial cable to
CABLE IN
on the cable box.
2. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the cable
box to
ANTENNA IN
on the VCR back panel.
3. Connect the cable box outputs to the TV as shown
in one of the options listed below. This connection
allows the TV to receive the best available signal
directly from the cable box. See the referenced
figures in this chapter, “TV Connections.”
Option 1 (see Figure 1:
Component video output
to the TV’s
COMPONENT INPUTS Y Pb Pr
jacks;
analog stereo audio to the associated
AUDIO
jacks.
OR
Option 2 (see Figure 2):
HDMI output to the TV’s
HDMI
jack.
OR
Option 3 (see Figure 3):
S-Video output to the
TV’s
INPUT S-VIDEO
jack; analog stereo audio to
the associated
AUDIO
jacks.
4. To use the TV speakers with the VCR, connect left
(white) and right (red) audio cables from
AUDIO OUT
on the VCR to
INPUT AUDIO L (MONO)
and
AUDIO R
on the TV back panel #1. If your VCR is mono (non-
stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.
5. Connect either an S-Video or composite video
cable from
VIDEO OUT
on the VCR back panel to
INPUT VIDEO
or
INPUT S-VIDEO
on the TV back
panel #1. Connect only one type of video cable.
S-Video is recommended, if available.
Note:
When using this connection configuration with
the connections used in step 3, it is possible to
view live cable programs through the VCR De-
vice. For best picture quality, however, always
view live cable programs directly from the cable
box device.
